This is a distant, front view of the stand showing the hallway, seating and carpeting in front of the booth. There is a glass cabinet at one end of the display full of photographic chemicals, as well as a projection screen set into the wall, and photographs arranged around the walls and the entranceway pillar.

Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
